My front passage is rotten / Porch uPVC DIY?

BigChin1 · 9 Nov 2022 at 11:11

The woodwork on my porch is rotten and needs replacing. The soffits/facias are uPVC so I'm wondering if I can get uPVC posts/rails/balustrades to replicate the woodwork? Doesn't need to be identical. Any recommendations where I can buy from?

I think you'd have more joy searching for "composite" rather than upvc

If it is only bits here and there it may be possible to cut out and replace with more wood.

Those posts, albeit rotten, are probably supporting the porch, I'd be careful removing them, whole lot could fall down. Probably be better replacing with timber, could go for a 'new look'. Prop it up before you remove it...
